Human-Centered Design

Human Centered Design

Human Centered Design (HCD) is an approach to design charged with understanding the needs, wants, and limitations of end-users. This is accomplished through methodologies and practices where these considerations are integrated at every stage of the design process. The HCD IGEP at Virginia Tech offers either an interdisciplinary PhD or a graduate certificate in a curriculum that combines technical expertise with critical inquiry to develop reflective practitioners equipped to meet vital human needs.
